Battery: A Problem Not Taken Seriously
Battered husbands have historically been either ignored
or subjected to ridicule and abuse. In 18th-century
France, a battered husband "was made to wear
an outlandish outfit and ride backwards around the
village on a donkey" (Steinmetz & Lucca 1988).
- In
Defense of Men - "Make absolutely no mistake,"
Vegh said. "Women can smoke dope, booze it up,
throw a fist, wield a knife, use a gun, beat their spouse,
and beat their kids. It is a type of violence that is
ignored, condoned, and treated as frivolous by a justice
system that survives by feeding on the one individual
who is easily stereo-typed, lacks public sympathy, does
not raise fear of reprisal in politicians, and often
does not fight back."
- Information
on Male Victims of Domestic Violence - How many
know that the same research which is used to say that
a woman is severely assaulted by her husband/boyfriend
every 15 second in this country, also indicated that
a man is severely assaulted by his wife/girlfriend every
14.6 seconds.

- The
Element of Surprise "The
resultant problem for male victims is that, like everybody,
they have to eat, sleep, shower and just take it easy.
Living with a spouse whose number one weapon is surprise,
male victims are likely to be constantly on guard -
a frame of mind that could produce a psychological toll
as well. With this in mind, the need for shelters for
male victims becomes even more imperative. Yet, such
shelters are practically nonexistent."

Tolerance - Violence
Against Men
"Woman
abuse is a growing public health and social concern.
An estimated 25% of Canadian women have experienced
violence at the hands of current or past marital partner
since the age of 16. The effects of woman abuse can
result in a combination of negative physical, emotional,
and psychological health outcomes." End
Violence Against Women
The
quote came from a government web site that deals with
the subject of abuse. Although women make up the majority
of the victims, there are men who are victims to the
same degree, with the same problems facing women victims,
but without the advantages and awareness or social structure
to find help.
